Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to examine the effect of LCIG relative to that of OMT on non motor symptoms associated with advanced Parkinson's disease.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the effect of LCIG relative to that of OMT on the motor symptoms/motor complications, safety, tolerability and health-related outcome measures.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Subject must have a minimum PDSS-2 total score of 18 at Baseline assessment.
    2. Subject must have a diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease according to the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society (UKPDS) Brain Bank Criteria. See Appendix C for UKPDS.
    3. Subject demonstrates persistent motor fluctuations in spite of individually optimized treatment.
    4. The subject's Parkinson's disease is levodopa-responsive.
    5. Subject has had optimal treatment with available anti-PD medication and their motor symptoms are judged inadequately controlled on this optimized treatment. Optimized treatment is defined as the maximum therapeutic effect obtained with pharmacological antiparkinsonian therapies when no further improvement is expected regardless of any additional manipulations of levodopa and/or other antiparkinsonian medication. This will be based on the Investigator's clinical judgment.
    6. Subject and/or if applicable, their care-partner must be able to complete the Subject Dosing Diary and must be able to demonstrate the ability to operate, manipulate and care for the infusion pump and tubing.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Subject's PD diagnosis is unclear or there is a suspicion that the subject has a parkinsonian syndrome such as secondary parkinsonism (e.g., caused by drugs, toxins, infectious agents, vascular disease, trauma, brain neoplasm), parkinson-plus syndrome (e.g., Multiple System Atrophy, Progressive supranuclear Palsy, Diffuse Lewy Body disease) or other neurodegenerative disease that might mimic the symptoms of PD.
    2. Subject has undergone neurosurgery for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
    3. Subject has any neurological deficit that might interfere with the study assessments (e.g., hemiparesis).
    4. Known hypersensitivity to levodopa, carbidopa or radiopaque material.
    5. Subject has contraindications to levodopa, (e.g., narrow angle glaucoma, malignant melanoma).
    6. Subject experiencing clinically significant sleep attacks or clinically significant impulsive behavior (e.g., pathological gambling, hypersexuality) at any point during the three months prior to the Screening evaluation) as judged by the Investigator.
    7. Subject has discontinued apomorphine continuous infusion for the treatment of Parkinson's disease less than three months prior to screening visit.
